I really thank you for this tutorial. Yesterday I drilled 4 holes in thick metal for like 3 hours. Didn't even know that drill bits can wear off so easily. I just re-did the 4 holes, this time in just 10 mins. I sincerely thank you for helping out.
OMG I am 70 and have been drilling holes in everything you can imagine since childhood. I had a problem yesterday drilling through some steel posts on my boat dock. Found this video and I was doing everything WRONG. Followed the advice here and my dock drilling project was, as of this morning, finished. Really well done!
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
Saw it was 17 mins, thought “wow what a waste of time to show how to drill metal”. Glad I stayed for the whole video! Great information and VERY well explained with good camera angles. Thanks
This is the teacher all of us could have used in shop class. Sir, judging from the comments you have saved your viewers (myself included lol) collectively thousands of dollars and as many hours. Many thanks
After searching through YouTube for the answer of how to drill through hard steel, I finally find the real answers in an oasis of comments sence, thank you for your great experience and knowledge.
Not sure if you are even still on this, but I wanted to say Thank You! Drilling through steel is difficult, but your tips helped me get my task done much faster than when I was trying on my own. I was drilling parallel to the floor, very slowly. I tried with all my might to put enough pressure on, but no go. As soon as I started drilling vertically, I made some nice curls.Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
